About me
I am an enthusiastic and hard-working graphic designer and artist, with a breadth of experience producing various professional standard outputs, as well as more artistic pieces. Throughout my career and past studies I have continued to develop and enhance my capabilities to proficiently utilise the Adobe suite, in addition to more analogue skills, including book binding and stop-motion animation. Most recently, I have completed a range of promotional materials for a top-end hair care brand, and very much look forward to engaging with my next creative challenge.

The video explores the possibilities of stop-motion animation following the narrative of a man and a fish interacting during a fishing trip. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro were used to construct the video within a strict three week deadline.
